Daily logs of my powerlifting lifts, what I eat, where I eat, and whatever else comes to mind.

2016-12-27: Figured out whats wrong with my squats

So, my squats have been weirdly weak. I finally figured out why before going to the gym today. I used the Smith Machine to squat on Dec 8th, forcing my body to use a different bar path. I didn't return to using a proper bar path after just one session on that dreaded contraption. Todays focus was bar path.

Todays lifts

Barbell Squat

5x20kg

5x40kg

3x60kg

3x80kg

3x100kg

5x5x120kg (yeah!)

1x140kg

That went as it should. Focused on proper technique, and the lifts were easy. Not super-easy, but they went up. Satisfied.
